@JTM22 Simple really. Were Aguero considered a 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick he would have entered the NFL draft. Since he isn't - and since his stock isn't going to change much next season by staying at UGA anyway because he doesn't have first 3 round talent, size or skill - he is taking more money from the Ole Miss collective than the UGA collective is willing to pay.

UGA will win more games than Ole Miss next year. But it is 3 more wins versus - spitballing here - $350,000. Which one of those is going to be more useful to him 10 years from now? It would be one thing if UGA were like Clemson in 2017, Bama 2019, UGA 2021 or Ohio State 2023. But it is difficult to propose that UGA is going to be a contender to get through a 12 team playoff without a major infusion of offensive firepower. Where's that going to come from? There isn't a Ryan Williams or Nick Chubb in this recruiting class. (The skill players in the 2025 class were higher rated plus there were more of them.) And Smart is getting the same low profile offense guys from the portal as usual. The big time portal prospects like Cam Coleman never considered Georgia and even 2nd tier WR Tre Richardson chose Louisville.

Not saying that Talyn Taylor and Thomas Blackshear won't be All-Americans next year or that Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens won't put it together to become a 1000 yard rushing duo like UGA had with D'Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield in 2018 (the good old days when UGA's top 2 RBs had 6.5 yards per carry and even the 3rd RB, Brian Herrien, had 6 ypc. This year? Frazier had 5.5 and Bowens 5.) It is just the likelihood based on comparing that UGA has coming back on offense to the other contenders isn't enough to deter a transfer from a guy who already has 2 SEC rings already. A 3rd SEC ring followed by a first game playoff exit to a team that has the difference makers on offense that UGA hasn't had since 2023 (when there wasn't enough of them, only 2, causing UGA to lose the play-in SEC title game when they were hurt) or $350,000 more dollars?

You might not make the same decision. (Then again, do we know what type of decision that you would make if you had to decide on enough money to pay your parents' mortgage and your siblings' college education?) But it is very understandable why Aguero would.

Move on partner. Let's get some folks who want to be Dawgs

I don’t understand this move. I wondered if he knew he was going here, so he sat out ‘injured’? I also believe Ole Miss will suffer a drop off, they most likely won’t have Chambliss, they won’t have the offensive coaches, they’ll drop back to 8-4/9-3, while Georgia stay at 10 wins plus.

You know who else is from the Miami area on indy's team? Two of the stud DBs Ponds and Sharpe. And here's the killer, next year's starter is another Miami horse Mendoza's baby brother…I imagine Cristobal (I won't be using the word tampering, how about) will be shopping next Monday after the game and with all that U money, news of a Mendoza transfer will be forthcoming…NIL has certainly allowed Miami to retain a lot more topshelf South Florida talent. The new semi-pro college landscape is a go dsend for the "return of the U"…

Agree with last 2 posts. At now 10 years into his tenure it would seem clear that Kirby is an intelligent guy. He knows that we lack a downfield pass attack. He knows about the teams that do. He comments pre-game on how hard it’s going to be to stop such “explosive” teams. The only conclusion is that he long ago made a decision not to go that route. Stay the course, emphasize defense 3 to 1 over offense, along with weight room, conditioning, run game, clock eating, mistake reduction, resilience, etc. The OLD AL plan years ago under Saban. Saban however was flexible and opened up his offense. I don’t think our offensive players and strategy are accidental, just the opposite. If this is accurate then we can only dream, but nobody’s listening. Would appear this is just something he doesn’t want to pursue and Bobo takes the marching orders and works with it.
